Twitter’s looking to get more people tuning into Spaces chats by highlighting the best conversations as they happen within the Explore tab, which could result in a big boost in exposure for some chats. we want to make it as easy as possible to find and join the best, most relevant Spaces every time you open Twitter. if the convo around a Space is taking off, you’ll now start seeing the Spaces card in the Explore/Trending tab on iOS!— Spaces (@TwitterSpaces) October 27, 2021 That’s a significant upgrade in exposure potential, because right now, there’s no way to easily find in-progress Spaces, and unless you follow a host or speaker in a chat, you’ll never even know that it’s happening. Twitter’s looking to improve this with its dedicated Spaces tab, which will showcase popular discussions in real time, while it also recently added Spaces topics to assist in matching the most relevant broadcasts to each user. But discovery, as Clubhouse has also found, is a difficult element, and while it’s one thing to facilitate many audio chats, all happening at the same time, it’s another to draw audiences to them, and boost engagement based on the discussions occurring. As with…

October 27, 2021 Posted: October 27, 2021 Updated: 8:24 PM KUSI Newsroom SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Senators put social media executives from YouTube, TikTok, and Snapchat on the defensive Tuesday, questioning them about what they’re doing to ensure young users’ safety on their platforms. Shibani Joshi, Technology and Business Reporter and Expert, joined KUSI’s Logan Byrnes on Good Evening San Diego to give her reaction to the situation. Joshi described the algorithm as the reason users get sent down a vortex of ideas that end up far from what they had initially “liked.” On Instagram, users are typically putting their best foot forward, which often digitizes as a lavish lifestyle, and those who don’t have such means are often left feeling depressed, Byrnes and Joshi discussed. Joshi emphasized the complexity of a solution to the problem.

On this date in Hip-Hop history, Harlem icon Ma$e released his sophomore album Harlem World on the Bad Boy/Arista imprint. A millennial piece of uptown Hip Hop history post the shooting death of rap giant Big L, Harlem World helped usher in a new era of Hip Hop in Harlem. Prior to this release, Harlem had given birth to Doug E. Fresh, Kool Moe Dee, Kurtis Blow, and Rob Base, but had yet to see an artist with the level of conceited charm coupled with chart-topping hits to back it up that a Bad Boy-backed Ma$e had on this album. Paving the way for groups like The Diplomats and A$AP Mob, this album was chock full of the opulent content expected from a true Harlem World representative. Along with its luxurious themes, the LP is laced with high energy production and a star-studded cast of guest appearances from some of New York’s finest, including labelmates The LOX, DMX, Lil’ Kim, Jay-Z, Total, 112, and Busta Rhymes. After the untimely passing of the Notorious B.I.G., this album was set up to be the debut of Diddy’s “new protege and although it obviously fell short of the acclaim brought by Ready to Die,…

KEITH T. DENNETT | New South | CONTACT A professional showboat has enjoyed publicly pleasuring himself this afternoon, after posting a 400-word essay on LinkedIn to announce he’d received his First Aid Certificate. James Handcock, a 27 year old Marketing Assistant from OhMyDOoH Media, decided to use his recently acquired (compulsory) training as an opportunity to jackhammer his personal brand across LinkedIn. The lengthy post which included the hashtags #StJohnsSavesLives and #DoingMyPart also included a number of first aid statistics, which Mr Handcock had clearly copied and pasted straight from the training portal. Speaking with The Advocate, the no-socks-chinos-rolled media guy admitted his post was a flagrant attempt to garner some career attention. “So my work needed someone in our team to have this certificate thingo, I’m up for a promotion soon so thought why not put my hand up and champion my team player attributes!” “These days employers want their workers to have all kinds of skills, so when they offered me a half day off to learn how to pump some plastic dummy’s chest, I thought sure!  Couldn’t hurt my career opportunities right?!” “There’s absolutely no chance of me ever actually using an EpiPen, but it’s not about that. It’s about spreading…

By AMANDA SEITZOctober 27, 2021 GMTCOLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The reports of hateful and violent posts on Facebook started pouring in on the night of May 28 last year, soon after then-President Donald Trump sent a warning on social media that looters in Minneapolis would be shot.It had been three days since Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on the neck of George Floyd for more than eight minutes until the 46-year-old Black man lost consciousness, showing no signs of life. A video taken by a bystander had been viewed millions of times online. Protests had taken over Minnesota’s largest city and would soon spread throughout cities across America. But it wasn’t until after Trump posted about Floyd’s death that the reports of violence and hate speech increased “rapidly” on Facebook across the country, an internal company analysis of the ex-president’s social media post reveals. “These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd and I won’t let that happen,” Trump wrote at 9:53 a.m.  » Read More

It can be difficult to 'make it' as a full-time streamer, but Pokimane (aka Imane Anys) thinks there's a better way to nurture budding internet broadcasters. The well-known Twitch personality is co-founding RTS, a talent management and brand consulting company that plans to fix "what is broken" for both game streamers and esports. The firm will rethink management to help creators run a "stable business" that survives in the long run, and to support game developers and other brands wanting to make a significant impact. Pokimane saw RTS tackling the problems she and others faced getting started. There are plenty of talented streamers who are "spinning their wheels on basic stuff" and forging partnerships that don't work for either side, she said. Ideally, her new company will reflect her experience and give rookies the support they need to avoid many of those early headaches. The startup will include a slew of game industry veterans, not to mention some major customers. Twitch and Endeavor veteran Stuart Saw will serve as CEO, while the remaining executives include alumni from Twitch, Blizzard and PAX. The board includes Twitch co-founder Kevin Lin, PUBG Corp's Americas head Brian Corrigan and Endeavor Executive VP Karen Brodkin.…
